We cover the country, but New York's our home, so it's an exciting week when the New York Comedy Festival comes around. It's unlike any other festival in the country. It's gigantic, but it's also decidedly unfestival-like because it's spread out through the entire city without a central focal point. Any week of the year there is a massive festival-worthy list of great comedy happening in New York City so by the time you add in a few extra headlining events, what you really have is a gigantic list of impossible choices and tough decisions.

Big Jay Oakerson Says Legendary Comedy Club Owner is Threatening to Ban Him From Every New York Club
Huge things are happening for New York comedian Big Jay Oakerson. He's getting his own radio show, his own Comedy Central hour special, and his podcast, Legion of Skanks was recently picked up by the new Anthony Cumia Network. But that won't stop him from speaking his mind, even at the risk of pissing off a club owner. Last night, according to Big Jay's twitter, he interceded in a fight taking place between a fellow comic and a disruptive audience member, and now he says the club owner has banned him from the club for life, and is threatening to get every New York club owner to follow suit. Here's what went down, according to a lengthy series of tweets from Oakerson. These are the tweets in his words, put into order.
